110V Operation
We do not recommend using an extension cord for equip-
ment. Instead, arrange the placement of your machinery
and installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension
cords. If you must use an extension cord, please use the
following guidelines:
• Use cords rated for Standard Service
• Never exceed a length of 50 feet
• Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger
• Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin
• Do not use cords in need of repair
Extension Cords
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! If your power supply
receptacle does not accommodate a ground pin, have the
receptacle replaced by a qualified electrician or have an
appropriate adapter installed and grounded properly. An
adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee the
machine will be grounded. A ground source must be veri-
fied.
The SHOP FOX
®
Model M1102/M1103 operates at 110
volts and draws 8.5 amps. Use a NEMA-style 5-15 plug
and receptacle (
Figure 1)to connect your machine to
power.
We recommend connecting this machine to a dedicated
circuit with a verified ground, using a 15 amp circuit
breaker. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of
higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri-
cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes. Otherwise
you may overload the wire and plugs in the circuit.
If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area
or you plan to connect your machine to a shared cir-
cuit, you may create a fire hazard—consult a qualified
electrician to reduce this risk.
Figure 1. Typical 110V 15A 3-prong plug
and outlet.
This equipment must be grounded.
Verify that any existing electrical out-
let and circuit you intend to plug into
is actually grounded. If it is not, it will
be necessary to run a separate 12 AWG
copper grounding wire from the outlet
to a known ground. Under no circum-
stances should the grounding pin be
removed from any three-pronged plug
or serious injury may occur.
